I went to the course yesterday, and that was all fun and educational and lovely, and I had a great time. We got out at four, and I headed off in completely the wrong direction under the instructions of a tube person - I wanted to go to the British Museum, but somehow I ended up in Soho, which was totally fun enough in itself but did mean by the time I got to the museum it was literally just that second closing its doors. Woe! So, like any sane and sensible person, I went to the pub.

I was waiting for kenovay to phone me, see, so we could get some food together, so I figured the best place to wait would be somewhere warm with something I could make last. So I bought myself a large glass of white wine and sat reading Temeraire: Throne of Jade, only I didn't quite manage to make the glass last long enough. So I bought another. And I did ask for a small one, really I did, only the barman (who was called Oscar) asked if I'd mind taking a glass he'd just poured so it didn't get wasted. Since I'd seen him do it and it was literally thirty seconds before, I said hey, why not. And he told me that due to the fact I was being so lovely about it, he'd give me a little top up. And proceeded to hand me a glass that was about half an inch of being a large one.

This led to me breaking a toilet door (dude, that lock was faulty) and accidentally phoning foreverdirt, which was kinda frabjous. The best thing about that pub, though? There was a small 19th century bookseller next door, and while peering through the window I saw a book that... dude, I squealed happily. I have a picture of it on my phone. I couldn't quite believe it.

It's called Scouts in Bondage.

Yeah, really. And it looks so wholesome! XD

So yeah, anyway - I then got on the tube again, got stuck on the tube, got off the tube, hugged kenovay a whole bunch, got liberally covered in river mud and raspberry coulis, drank more white wine, returned to Waterloo, got on the train and heard a very smartly dressed business man saying 'All I can taste is spunk' as he walked past.

Good day. Odd, but good. :D

Okay, I was amused the whole way through the entry, but when I got to the business man, I just CRACKED UP LAUGHING AND NOW CANNOT STOP. XDDD

dude! that day of yours was so... surreal and yet so very British that it smacks of PTerry or GNeil! What fun!

Okay, I'm done now.

So... you're sure that this bondage book was in a store not in Soho?

Next time you should go to the devil's coffeeshop. XD

I missed you enormously. I forgot to put that in, it was going to be a part of the post. "I ended up in Soho and I missed unravels enormously", was what it was supposed to say. It wasn't the same without you there. :(

Dude, this book cover?: http://gg.wiw.org/fp3a.jpg

"So, like any sane and sensible person, I went to the pub."

That sounds sane and sensible to me. Brava, carry on. (Proving it is always a good idea to get on the right side of the barman.)

ROFL!

Yay for good days, even the odd ones.

I miss you too. :( I went back to Soho later in the week after we'd been and it was very sad.

WE WILL JUST HAVE TO GO AGAIN. I will not be swayed on this.
